I rewrote my word search tool in Angular 2, and added a tiny bit of responsive design. (First version shown here: https://steemit.com/programming/@markgritter/bearwords-word-search-tool) You can try it out at https://bearwords-217805.appspot.com/

Source is at: https://github.com/mgritter/bearwords

The new version seems faster; I'm not sure why. It sorts the words in order of decreasing length, and by default only shows a small number of results, though you can get the whole list.

My goal for this project is basically getting comfortable with modern Javascript (Typescript) and Angular 2, so that I can use them both at work and for my own projects.

To do

  • unit and e2e tests
  • better column output: responsive design makes one long column and one short when it goes down to 2 wide
  • better word styling
  • search for fixed prefix/suffix (an added element in Alphabears 2)
  • allow change in sort order?
  • more modern display aesthetic
